HANDBOOK OF Neuroscience NURSING and Advanced PRACTICE: Evidence-Based Neurological Spinal Management for Certified Nurses Practice Clinicians

Neurological deterioration can develop within minutes. A subtle change in consciousness, a newly unequal pupil, an altered motor response, or an unexpected intracranial-pressure pattern may be the first warning of a life-threatening event.Handbook of Neuroscience Nursing and Advanced Practice gives nurses and advanced practice clinicians an accessible, evidence-based reference for assessing neurological patients, recognising clinical deterioration, supporting urgent intervention, and managing complex neurological and spinal conditions.Designed to bridge the gap between an oversized academic textbook and a limited pocket guide, this handbook connects neuroanatomy, pathophysiology, assessment findings, imaging, pharmacology, and nursing intervention.Its clinically organised structure helps readers understand not only what action may be required, but why that action matters. The content supports bedside reasoning, professional development, neuroscience nursing education, and preparation for CNRN-related knowledge domains.Inside, readers will explore: - Applied neuroanatomy and neurophysiology for clinical practice- Systematic neurological assessment and neuromonitoring- Glasgow Coma Scale, FOUR Score and neurological escalation- CT, MRI and vascular neuroimaging interpretation- Neuropharmacology and high-alert medication safety- Ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke management- Traumatic brain injury and intracranial-pressure control- Seizure disorders and status epilepticus- CNS infections and neuromuscular emergencies- Perioperative neurosurgical and neuro-oncology nursing- Hydrocephalus, CSF management and external ventricular drains- Neurovascular and endovascular procedures- Acute and long-term spinal cord injury management- Degenerative spinal disease and interventional pain care- Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and dementia- Palliative and end-of-life neurological careThe handbook also includes rapid-reference material covering neurological scoring systems, cerebrospinal-fluid values, antiepileptic medications and spinal cord injury classification.Build stronger neurological assessment skills, sharpen your clinical reasoning and approach complex neuroscience nursing situations with a structured professional reference.Add Handbook of Neuroscience Nursing and Advanced Practice to your clinical library today.
